Just got into work and switched the cricket on

England 307-4

Stokes 71 (45)
Sibley 104*

Looks like Stokes has been told to swing the willow to build a big score and give England bowlers 5 sessions at the Saffers

Butler gone, 23 from 18, trying a ramp shot straight to the keeper

356-7 lead by 402

Scurran (sic.) coming in…

106th over: England 375-7 (Sibley 125, Curran 13) Delight for England, and a broad smile from Stuart Broad on the balcony, as a ball from Pretorius spits off the pitch and hits Sam Curran’s top hand. Curran sends a four square and that is that. South Africa will now have to make the highest score in Test history to win the game. England lead 421, 157 runs in the session. Sibley is applauded off the pitch for the best lunch of his lifetime.

No he didn’t. That can only be said when its a complete innings. Not after a decleration.

I never knew that.

139-3. Jimmy with a plumb lbw earlier, night watchman gone

Pedant, but thanks for correcting me, like the Welsh one I did not know that…
